06/09/2025: I've been ordering for weeks though just eat, but today my order WAS NOT DELIVERED. Order 142472739 was paid in advance. No one answer my calls as well. Disappointed.

05/09/2025: I feel like this restaurant is underrated, it soo good m, the food, the people there and the atmosphere itself, I highly recommend it 🫶🏻

18/01/2026: Very local breakfast, beautiful place

28/12/2025: Nice drings here . Highly recommend place , thanks to devila

15/12/2025: Beautiful rustic interior. A lot of sitting space when you consider the inside and outside. One of the best lattes I've ever had and very affordable. Came today to work for 1-2h and go for a walk around the Lough after. Absolutely gorgeous Monday evening.

28/09/2025: Everything was fine. Unfortunately, the food was a complete disaster. I even got a stomach ache. What a pity.

28/09/2025: Everything perfect, good foods, good service and good ambient

03/11/2025: Great customer service. Chips are beautiful so fresh and crispy

23/10/2025: I have a severe allergy to both milk and gluten, I don’t eat out at restaurants in the US much due to this. Kiely’s made me feel so comfortable with their allergy protocol and listing allergens on their menu as well. The fish and chips were delicious and such a treat. I love how light the breading was and had zero reactions. 💜 I will certainly visit again before I fly back home.

22/02/2026: The staff can't do enough for you, the drinks are great and the atmosphere keeps you there for hours! It does get busy which says alot

21/02/2026: I went for a dram of the Egans Fortitude - and I left happy! Great buzz in this lively pub.

13/12/2025: Didn't eat in so I can't comment on that hence zero stars. Atmosphere was top notch amd service eas very fast and amazingly polite taking crowd inside in perspective. Definitely plaec6to have a few pints.

09/12/2025: This is a great pub with wonderful staff. The pizzas are excellent and there is a good choice of wines and beers.

03/03/2026: Food was nice, resturant has nice decor too, suitable for a special occasion.

24/02/2026: Food was very ordinary for the price. We found it very hard to choose no exciting dishes basically an extensive carvery. In response to Ricardo I was definitely there last Saturday at 5 pmchoose beef for lack of anything else. It's just my personal opinion I thought food was over priced and ordinary similar to a carvery.

22/02/2026: Very disappointed overall.Took my son for a special occasion.Very loud on arrival from people at bar counter asked to move but staff member said the group were leaving ( which they did ) .We ordered 2 starters both small ,tasty enough. .However it was the 2 main courses that were so disappointing I ordered the hake ,brocolini and mash and my son ordered the featherblade of beef ,both portions were small ,the broccoli was 2 pieces of tenderstem.My sons beef was small he was starving after it. .With one non alcoholic wine meal came to 92 euro ..I dont mind paying for something if Its filling and good value but we both left hungry .My son went home for a bowl of cereal.Overall very disappointing experience.Wish I had seen previous persons review ( Sarah ) bfore I booked.We had similar experiences.

15/02/2026: Overall a very mid experience for a fine dining restaurant, when paying such high price for the food you'd expect just a bit more than one mushroom and one broccoli, the chips were not even crispy and more soggy unfortunately, seasoned well beef however too much blood on the beef, , plating was just so basic, the vibe was an interesting experience just way too dark

06/03/2026: The food is so nice. The restaurant get full very quickly. The price is reasonable.

03/03/2026: the food was in no way worth the price. 22 euros for carbonara is a scam. It's very crowded and you can see the dirty kitchen and cooks without uniforms or headgear. unacceptable behavior in the open kitchen. and the Italian owners speak excellent Arabic 😅

08/12/2025: Cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommend their cappuccino coffee 👌

08/12/2025: This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The coffee is delicious—rich, aromatic, and perfectly prepared. The homemade cakes are out of this world, truly irresistible. The owner is wonderful: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. And the view of the city is just amazing, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend!

26/12/2025: There are holes in the seats, toilets are atrocious, amongst many other issues. Just get them upholstered, sort the place out. you can keep the charm of the pub... it doesn't need to be a dive

21/12/2025: Great atmosphere, love the location too, drinking space indoors or enclosed outdoor area. Friendly staff.

21/11/2025: Good vegetarian food, friends fast staff. Always hot and delicious.

13/11/2025: I tried falafel again for the first time since I was a child (wanted to give it another go!) and I absolutely loved it!!! The pitta I chose even had eggplant (aubergine) which I don’t normally like but it was still great. My friend and I did takeaway, it was super quick and the staff were friendly! They were easy to talk to and I think waiting for our food took about 10 minutes or less. Turns out I do like falafel and I will be back again!

06/03/2026: What a great authentic Irish bar in the heart of Cork. Great atmosphere and great live Irish music. plenty of choice of beers snd stouts and the staff are great.

24/02/2026: Great place for traditional Irish music and drinks. Cheers!

07/11/2025: Situated in the center on the corner of North Main Street this bar is a nice upmarket establishment with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, the drinks cold and the toilets spotless.

05/11/2025: Great service, very attentive. The double fried fries were great, however the smaller ones were hard to chew. Ribs spot on. Can be a bit dark in certain areas
